[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Hardware Architecture Group

[Nir Simionovich]

Sounds like a wonderful idea!

I can tell you from personal experience that the performance of Asterisk and 
its stability are in a one-to-one relation to the hardware that you're 
using. We've been using mostly Intel boards for Asterisk, mainly the 
ClearWater (XEON) and TorryPine (P4) boards for Asterisk, and they always 
proved the most reliable.

We are now working on finalizing our Asterisk based appliance box, which is 
based on a TYAN board, and I have to admit that it exhibits the same 
behaviour as the TorryPine, with some advantages in terms of user experience 
for configuration of IRQ's and MB resources.

I have resources for forming such a group, shall we all proceed ?
